When they do? It's Linux for moi, I don't care who's fault it is...

With regards to 2003, I don't think it is going to EOL anytime soon. Windows 2000, which was a workstation AND server OS, had mainstream support until June 2005, and will retain extended support until July 2010. I'll go ahead and guess about 10-12 years until 2003 is totally EOLed.
So, I'm going to guess 5 years of mainstream support for XP.
I think Vista is going to get adopted fairly well, perhaps not by large institutions, but by end users and system builders.
Seriously, MSFT should get kick backs from 3d graphics companies and motherboard companies.
